Parliament's winter session to start from November 19
New Delhi:
Parliamentary Affairs Minister P K Bansal
on Wednesday said that Parliament's winter session will start from November 19
and will end on December 22, having 24 sittings in all. The Cabinet Committee
on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA) chaired by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on
Wednesday took the decision to this effect. Both the government and the opposition
at the end of the budget session this year had favoured at least 100 sittings
of Parliament in a year and the winter session to be a six-week affair. Normally,
the winter session lasts for four weeks beginning in the last week of November
and ending just ahead Christmas.
